Even without the second beam splitter, the light still goes into a superposition of taking the red path and the blue path. A wave with half amplitude hitting the detector doesn't mean it would try to produce half a photon, it still produces a whole photon but only has half probably of doing so. Detecting photons at the detector doesn't mean they must have traveled as particles. The beam splitter still splits the photon into a superposition of going either way, and half of the photons end up hitting where that side-beam is pointing and don't hit your detector.

If you add the beam splitter, you simply can't tell which photon went which way. The interference pattern is one half of the sum of the photons seen without the beam splitter. You just can't tell which beam it is. When both interference patterns are combined they show the same image as without the beam splitter. There is no going back in time, sorry folks.

After that he cut another leg then make noise and the insect does running. The scintist repeat the cutting the legs of insect until he cuts the last, and then after making noise the insect does not running. The conclusion that scintist did is that insect without legs does not hear:) Good experiment, interpretation could be more.

Exactly, but Quantum mechanics is open to interpretation. Even though they all agree on the predicted outcome of experiments, they disagree on what the wave function represents. And then you get, in my point of view, ridiculous interpretations, like the one presented on the video or many-worlds interpretation.
@DaP84
@DaP84 Год назад
So why does the interference pattern appear in the double slit experiment, even when shooting separate particles, one by one?
@joaofelipecamargopinheiro4230
@@DaP84 It's the same reason. The particles behave as wave functions, I mean each particle individually so it doesn't matter if it's one at a time or one billion at a time, and this wave function, for each particle, spreads over all space. You could imagine It like a water wave, even though they don't behave exactly the same. So this wave function interferes with it self, causing the interference patterns, the analogy with other types of waves here is basically perfect. I don't think anyone disagrees with what I just said, but the problem is: "what does the wave function represent ?". Roughly speaking, the answers to this question are called interpretations. The most popular one is the Copenhagen interpretation, where the wave function represents an amplitude of probability, but there are many many others. A very interesting one is the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation.Truth is that it doesn't really matter, since they all agree on the outcome of the experiment and can't be tested, but it's interesting conversation

Superdeterminism is another way to explain the retrocausality seen in this experiment. In a superdeterministic universe the photon either propagates as a wave (when the 2nd splitter is in place) or as a particle (when the 2nd splitter is removed) because the future placement of the splitter is already determined.

Adding/removing the second beamsplitter doesn't change how the photons travel. With a second beamsplitter: both red and blue path reach the beamsplitter, get split, and in both directions a mix of 50% red + 50% blue comes out, so when one reaches the target, there is an interference pattern between them both when they excite electrons in the target, making them emit "reflected" photons. Without a second beamsplitter: only one path (red or blue) reaches the target, and has nothing else to interfere with.

@tobystewart4403
@tobystewart4403 Год назад
When we detect a "photon", we are actually measuring the change in energy state of an electron. This electron is local to the measurement device, it has not moved. The wave in the electric field has caused the local electron to change energy state. If we wish to be esoteric, we can argue that a "particle" is anything that transports energy, and so fluctuations in electrostatic force (i.e. waves in the electric field) can become "particles". However, this is our choice of perverse use of language, not some profound condition of reality. The reason i say it is "perverse use of language" is because the word "particle" already has a pretty well understood definition. It means a substantive thing, occupying 3 dimensions of space, having mass, and being capable of exuding force, whether that force is gravity from mass or electrostatic force, as charge. Now it's important to note that this perversity is not limited to the layman's use of everyday terminology. It's perverse with regard to Maxwell's laws of electromagnetism. Maxwell has it that there is an absolute distinction between, on the one hand, a "thing" that occupies space and 3 dimensions, and which exudes force such as charge, and, on the other hand, a mere fluctuation in the strength of a force field that is exuded by a substantive "thing". Maxwell called the movement of the former a "current", and said that this movement creates a magnetic field. He stated that the movement of the other, a mere wave in the field, did not create a magnetic field, and was not affected by a magnetic field. Indeed, it was Faraday who first established this fundamental difference between moving waves in an electric field and moving charge carries in space. The former is light, the later is current. Describing light as a "particle", therefore, contradicts Maxwell's laws, and has it that light waves are actually currents, carrying a source of charge across space. This is manifestly not so, and thus we might begin to question why the issue of light being a "particle" is so culturally resistant to disproof. Perhaps some people are just particle folk, to the very end, and cannot abide a world view that contains such things as "waves". Waves are pretty strange. It's almost as if they transport pure information across space and time, existing as metaphysical messengers in a physical world. If waves are not magic, they will do until the magic gets here.

@tobystewart4403
@tobystewart4403 Год назад
@@JohnTan You are making the absolute declaration that the photoelectric effect is proof of the existence of particles. So, you claim that the photoelectric effect is evidence of a 3 dimensional substance, travelling across space and time, and itself occupying space and mass. A "particle" of matter. OK, so what is the photoelectric effect? The photoelectric effect is the phenomena of electrons changing energy state by quantised steps, and not according to an infinitely variable scale. When electrons change energy state, either absorbing or emitting energy, they do so in strictly quantised amounts. Why do we believe that this behaviour is associated with particles? Well, it can be. If we take a bullet with a known mass, and we shoot it with a known velocity at another object, we can calculate the kinetic energy in imparts to the other object. Both bullet and object are "particles", in effect. So, by using a kinetic model of energy, where mass and velocity are deterministic of all reality, we can understand "particles" as capable of transporting energy across space, and exchanging energy with other particles. This is why we suppose that the photoelectric effect might be the result of particle interaction. It fits the kinetic energy model of the universe. Yet, it is demonstrably wrong to declare that all exchange of energy in quantised form involves the interaction of particles. Consider the humble raindrop, and phase change. Water vapour condenses into droplets, each droplet representing a quantised amount of energy. That is to say, it takes an exact and quantised amount of energy to make one droplet of a given size from water vapour. Even though we understand that many millions of water molecules are combining to give each single quanta of energy emitted by the condensation of each individual rain drop, we describe the cumulative effect of all these molecules as a single quanta of energy, that being equal to one raindrop. And this is, in fact, a quantised event. Each droplet actually exists, and each droplet really does have it's own "quanta" of energy that dictates it's state, as either a liquid or a gas. And thus, every droplet of water has it's own "photon" particle, if we accept that quantised exhibitions of energy are hard proof of particles that transport this energy exchange. It's rather magical a mysterious, the way phase change between gas and liquid exhibits apparently arbitrary examples of quantised energy. Even so, for the purposes of the discussion of light, we have now established that water droplets must have particles associated with them, particles that hit water vapour and cause it to change energy state. Why? Well, we've established that any quantised exhibition of energy exchange is hard proof of the existence of particles, objects with 3 dimensions and mass and so on, carrying this quanta of energy from one place to another place. Therefore, as we have raindrops occurring, we have proved that raindrop photons must exist, and thus there must be these particles, with specific size and mass, capable of exchanging the energy needed to vaporise and condense water droplets. We are not permitted to argue that phase change occurs due to temperature and pressure. No, we have a quantised exhibition of energy, and we have declared that such a thing is hard proof of particles that transport the whole sum of this quanta of energy as kinetic energy. Now, a thoughtful person might try to argue that a change in temperature causes the droplet to form (or to disappear) because many "photons" of energy are being exchange by molecules. This argument does not explain why, or how, many small particles can suddenly exhibit the behaviour of one single large particle, but even so it does bring us back to discussions of particles being the carriers of energy, to and fro, and so it cements the idea that where we see energy exchange, we see particles hitting each other. Yet, what if we cause the phase change and water droplets formation by changing pressure only? How does the interaction of particles now explain the quantised change in energy state? A change in pressure doesn't even involve the exchange of many photons. Suddenly, we are faced with quantised exhibitions of energy exchange, without any apparent interaction of kinetic energy between particles. The point here is that "quanta" of energy, or discreet packets of energy, are analogous to the exchange of kinetic energy between particles of known mass, but they are hardly proof of such things. Yes, it is true, when we examine particles in the world, we can observe quantised transfers of energy. It is a bold claim, however, to argue that every quantised exchange of energy is hard proof of one particle striking another. This desire to perceive the world as substantive objects striking other substantive objects, this article of faith in the kinetic reality of things, is very ancient. Newton was criticised for suggesting the existence of gravity, because gravity violates the idea of a mechanical universe, a place where all things touch other things, and all exchange of energy is always kinetic. So does electrostatic force, but gravity violated the mechanical universe worldview long before electrostatic force did so. Anyway, that's what I think about that. I don't think one can convince the hard core particle people. Those folks are extremists. They are beyond reason. The believe in neutrons, and pineapple on pizza, and every other kind of perversion and wickedness. We just have to make the sign of the cross when folks get their particle fever on, and say "There, but for the grace of god, go I."

It's kind of mind blowing when you try to imagine it from our perspective. I personally like to look at photons from thier own perspective. Because of the relativity, they exist in all points of their trajectory simultaneously within a single point in time. In other words, from a photon's view it doesn't experience any time, so the second beam splitter either is in its path or isn't. There's simply no time for the beam splitter to move once the photon started its journey.

If you can split the lasers and they have the same potential, why not just keep splitting the laser until you have more output energy than input. Effectively creating power.

it may sound kinda funny but have you ever considered if the beam splitter was causing make the pattern? what i mean is there is no way you can measure with just a single photon. and there is a numerous number of photons that are colliding. so while the interference occurs or adding the splitter, the photons' path is changed by the elements of the splitter as it is also made of molecules. and they can absorb and reflect some of the particles. so i think the photons start acting like wave after it goes through the splitter but before. meaning the splitter breaks the photons from partical to wave

If you only measure the peaks of a water wave you'll get something similar. It doesn't need to collapse. The wave functions that 'collapse' are probability functions.

If you've seen the double polarizer experiments where you put a rotated polarizer in front of two polatizers completely blocking the light to somehow allow the light through. The physical experiment he set up is not really showing anything different than that because hes not using single photons.

Look further into this. He did not fully describe the retrocausal effect probably because it's very nuanced. The people who first performed the quantum eraser experiment call it "causally disconnected" this is inclusive of instantaneous action at a distance aswell as retrocausal effects. Its important to note no information can be sent back in time but you can observe the effect after sending alot of individual photons through.

@markfernee3842

What is shown here is just a classical Mach-Zehnder interferometer. So it is not surprising that the interference is a function of the presence of the second beam splitter. This is just explained using the wave nature of light. It is only at the single photon level that this experiment explores quantum properties. At that point the beam splitter seems to "decide" whether the photon is a "particle" or "wave" before the wave/particle choice is made later in the experiment. This highlights exactly why a photon cannot be considered to be either a particle or a wave. Rather, it is a quantum object.

So here's what I want to do. I want to set up the simple double-slit experiment, but use a gamma laser that can fire one photon at a time, but put the slit on an ultra-sensitive piezo crystal and measure the induced voltage. If it traveled through only one slit I should be able to measure the momentum transfer. If it went through both slits there's no momentum transfer. After getting it running, we then put a beam block splitting the left and right sides. We can still tell which side it hit, right? My physics professor back in college seemed to believe the momentum transfer simply averaged out so there was nothing to measure. We didn't have single-photon sources at the time to try exotic setups with.

To understand why the delayed choice quantum eraser does not imply time travel (or retrocausality), I recommend Arvin Ash's video on it. Sabine Hossenfelder also did a video on the subject. In the defense of The Action Lab, which often makes great videos, this is a very technical and tricky subject.
@markfernee3842
@markfernee3842 8 месяцев назад
This is not the delayed choice quantum eraser, but rather Wheeler's delayed choice experiment. The retro-causal nature of the experiment depends on there being a choice in the first place. The phenomenon being explored here is called "contextuality". That means the measurement itself determines the property of the quantum object being detected. This is a central property of quantum theory.

You can just say "combining [something]," such as "combining both beams," because the combination already _means_ "...together." Much like the "re-" of "recombine" not only already means "again," but also implies the "back" already. So you can just say "recombine at this path."

Thanks! Good video. If the photon travels through the first beam splitter being a wave and then we remove suddenly second beam splitter, the wave collapses (collapses all the way back till the light source?). What if we would say that time doesn't exist at all, but the whole our reality is like recorded on a video tape, and then what happens, is that a few frames of the movie were instantly rewritten, so that there was never such a timeline where the photon acted as a wave at all. All what's left is in our vague memory.
@justindressler5992
@justindressler5992 Год назад
I think this is a demo of diffraction not wave/particle duality. The light travels In a straight line through the entire experiment. It only randomly changes direction when a none reflective material is inserted into the path causing it to randomly change direction as it interacts with the material. Also the light isn't vary linear in this experiment. As it scatters into a large dot instead of a small point. Again this happens because of interactions between the mirrors and even from the source, since the light is emitted from the laser diode junction in a random but probabilistic direction of observation away from the diode surface. There are well established mathametical solutions for light which only ever transport the light as a ray. The rays contain a wave function but this only effects the characteristic interactions of the ray when it interacts with matter. For example a red frequency ray will interfere with a blue frequency ray but only if they arrive at the same point in space. I suggest you use a transparent interference panel and observe how the light continues in a straight line since something like glass has a low index of refraction. Eg it does not change the probabilistic direction of the light. This experiment is based on a vary early experiment which was done before modern mathematical solutions were developed to describe light transport. We can easily simulate light in a physics based way using only ray based projection. I think the hardest bit here to understand is that the light is not transmitted a one single particle but trillions of them. These particles arrive at the same destination at the speed of light so they appear as a dot scattered of centre axis from the laser. If you could slow light down to a particle or a prefer the term packet. Because a particle would imply the light consists of matter which it doesn't. It would not be visible for many reasons including its energy not having enough interaction with the camera sensor to be distinguished from noise to the probability that it changed direction entirely away from the camera. The unique thing about the lens of our eye and the camera is that it focuses the light from many incident angles to a central point effectively amplify or increasing the chance the light will be recieved by or retina or camera sensor. A clear example of light refraction can be seen by putting the laser in a vacuum it will no longer be observed from a perpendicular angle as it has no atmospheric matter to interact with. These tricks of light occur because you are witnessing trillions of sudo (probablistic) random interaction of energy arriving at the witness lens of the camera or eye. We can never ever witness a single particle of light it would never be distinguished from the trillions of background rays we receive from every visible star in our universe. Probably the best example of a ray of light is that witnessed from space as the field of view for a star is so small that it appears as a single dot but in reality its energy is projected in every direction simultaneously. But if we could bring the star closer we would see more detail as the light would start to arrive from more angles to our eye, like our sun. If we were to put matter between our sun the light may interact with the matter in different ways it might bend around the curvature of a planet to appear a little like a hallow or reflect light a spot lite in the case of the moon.

What if a photon is much bigger than a 'particle' and covers the whole experiment at once. Rather than imagining a single particle travelling through space imagine a large moving region of probability. If that probability encompasses the whole experiment then it is possible for the actual paths the photon takes to be defined before it appears to travel along them. It could also cause interference between successive particles if they were not spaced sufficiently apart in time.

The instants it hits the Detektor is the same as the start. But the light the Detector remits has that choice.
